I think I need a new T-shirt. On the front it will say
"Of course, my version is somewhat outdated..."
and on the back it will say
"...but it is Debian's latest stable release."
Or maybe I should just put the whole thing in my sig. Not that I want to
wind up Debian, of course. Perish the thought. :-)

That is exactly what I was going to say.
However, I am ever-helpful. :-) I did investigate how this could be
done. In the 4.34 release of Exim (which I'll release very shortly,
because of the buffer overflow bugfix) there are a few lines of
commented-out code (in the transports/appendfile.c module) which ensure
that no maildirsize file is created if the quota is zero. By hacking the
code just a bit you can enable this functionality (unconditionally,
there is no option).
